Where it thrives

High-speed trails

What it's built for

Full-throttle trail riding

Highlights

Ultralight Hi-MOD carbon FlexPivot frame & Lefty Ocho Carbon fork - 120mm travel F-R / Integrated Cannondale App connectivity

HollowGram 25 S carbon tubeless-ready wheels / Cannondale DownLow dropper post / Stash kit

The New Cutting Edge

Superior suspension. Superior traction.

Scalpel SE’s patented FlexPivot suspension results in more grip, more control, and more speed. 120mm of plush travel works so well that it feels like so much more – meaning all-day singletrack sessions are a gas.

Big trail capability

Scalpel’s progressive XC attitude has evolved even further with a slack and stable 67˚ headtube angle – combined with shorter stems, bigger tires, dropper posts and bigger travel: if you love riding trails fast, precise and in full control, then this is the bike for you.

Technology

FlexPivot

The key to Scalpel’s incredible suspension performance and light weight. These patented carbon plates create virtual Horst link pivots, while being stiffer and lighter than bearings. Incredibly durable. Incredibly flexible. And completely maintenance-free.

Proportional Response

Unlike the competition, who use the same suspension kinematic across all sizes, we customize the layout of our suspension for each one, so that every rider, from the smallest to the tallest, experiences the same brilliant suspension performance.

STASH Kit

Everything you need for lighting fast trailside repairs. A Fabric 8-in-1 mini tool in a quick-draw holster, a Dynaplug tubeless plug kit, and your CO2 inflator, all stashed neatly under your waterbottle. Quick and easy.

Two Waterbottles

Proper hydration, without the pack. Hallelujah!

Light. Stiff. Fast.

Don’t settle for just two. Pick all three. With its full carbon frame and new 4-bar FlexPivot suspension, the Scalpel is one of the lightest and stiffest full-suspension mountain bikes available. Built light to go fast = built right to have a blast.
